Zeeman: a minimalistic periodic table focused on isotopes
- The creator of Zeeman, frustrated with the scattered nature of isotopic data for spectroscopic techniques, developed a solution during their master's thesis.
- The app provides an intuitive visualization of isotopic data, with inner rings displaying abundances and outer arcs clustering isotopes by spin.
- Zeeman offers features like explaining visualization logic, mapping colors to nuclear spins, and displaying raw isotope data.
- The design philosophy of Zeeman focuses on immediate, information-dense visualizations, vibrant colors, and high contrast.
- The technology stack includes React for UI, Zustand/Immer for state management, and D3.js for custom visualizations.
- Zeeman is open-source on GitHub, inviting contributions and forks from users interested in the project.
- D3.js, the library powering Zeeman's visualizations, is highlighted for its elegance and data-binding capabilities.
- The app caters to students exploring NMR/EPR, researchers needing quick isotope data access, and educators creating interactive lessons.
- Future plans for Zeeman include improving mobile interactions, creating a desktop port, adding keyboard shortcuts, and enabling high-res image exports.
- The app's name honors Pieter Zeeman, known for his contributions to magnetic fields and atomic spectra.
- Zeeman serves as a valuable tool bridging the gap between raw isotopic data and human understanding, enhancing accessibility for students and researchers.
